The first concert was held on December 26, 1936 with maestro Arturo Toscanini as conductor. Toscanini, already a world renown conductor, had gained respect by refusing to perform in Nazi Germany in protest of Nazi policies against Jews. While Bronislaw Huberman did not perform with Toscanini in 1936, they were re-united in 1938 and both performed together.
